I agree about the sources. I almost never used Fox or CSM. Bloomberg, Washington Post, and WSJ especially were often very helpful. Overall, this looks wonderful.

Personally, I would like to see more international and economic sources. Off the top of my head, I would like it if Al Jazeera, Merco Press, Japan Times, Moscow Times, Jerusalem Post, Bloomberg, WSJ, Washington Post, and Forbes were added.

Reg10n just finished a tournament, but I'm sure that Ethan will respond to you all very soon! I just wanted to mention that it will probably be difficult to obtain articles from the WSJ because--from what I understand--one must have a personal account to access all articles/full articles.

Suggestion: I don't know if you have an active list of which sources you use but it would be nice to see that on the website (I realize you have a picture with 10 sources but if you are updating your site it would be nice (plus, the picture is a bit hard to make out)).

It looks like a great idea and I'd be very interested in buying.

Is the resource available permanently once you purchase it? Or does it only last the debate year? (Ie. if I'm a freshman (which I'm not) could I spend $25 and have it my sophomore, Junior, and Senior years for that one-time price or would I have to spend $25 every year?) Either way it would be a bargain.

From what I gathered of the process, you buy Extemp Genie only once, but you pay $25 for it every year. So if you were to buy it on the 15th (tomorrow), you'd pay $25 right then and there, and then pay $25 on Jan. 15, 2016, and so on until you tell Google to stop. Make sense?

Used this at my last tournament. Can I say how nice it was to use articles from the day before in every extemp speech I gave. Yeah, it was pretty sweet.

Same here. It worked beautifully. I had plenty of articles on every topic and had at least four or five sources for each speech. I've already recommended the software to several people and will continue to do so throughout the rest of the season. Fantastic work, Ethan.

So my Extemp Genie software no longer gives to option to back up only new articles for some reason.

Anyone else having this problem? Everything else still works fine, but the lack of the new articles button has been an issue for probably about a week or two now for me. It's no biggie, as I can simply hit the "last week" button, but still it would be nice to have the "only sync new articles" button back, as using the last week option takes longer.

The "Sync All New" button has been removed in the new version 1.5.4. It confused some new users and was rather buggy. I would recommend syncing the past month on a standard date every month and the past week immediately before tournaments. But how that's all managed is completely up to you.

Ohhhh, okay. That makes sense. Thank you for your prompt reply and advice!
